he's the man!!


i managed to find poems written by the fans all over the world dedicated to The Great Roberto Baggio

ROBERTO BAGGIO

I do not know if you remember him
I do; wore Italy's colours once.

He's the guy who got them single handedly
into the 1994 world cup soccer finals
and when it mattered the most
blew it in the penalty shoot out.

I don't know if he's forgiven himself
I have.

Somethings aren't destined to be,
and yet -
there's a tragic beauty...
in loss, in ruins.

I'll remember him, always
he tried, you know.

Lajan Joseph

Calcio: Baggio, "ora sara' dura smettere"
(ANSA) - ROMA, 14 MAR - Dopo aver segnato il gol numero 200 in carriera Roby Baggio sembra poter ripensare alla decisione di lasciare il calcio a fine stagione. "Sara' molto difficile smettere - ha detto il Codino - Ma non ho rimpianti, ho sempre dato tutto e sono stato guidato dalla passione". Baggio sostiene che "la decisione devo prenderla per i fastidi di cui risento", ma individua una piccola soddisfazione che ancora non ha avuto: "Il gol piu' bello? Me ne manca uno, una rete da meta' campo alla Maradona".

Finally Baggio has done it. 200 serie a goals... he's played his career in the toughest era of italian football so this is obviously a great acheivment. The colours of that flag are the colours of his Buddhism religion.

Forza Baggio, per sempre....

Great achievement to one of the finest footballers of his generatin and what a well taken goal too

I would have put money on it being against Parma as Baggio always seems to score against Parma for Brescia

Congratulations to Roby - the only thing that would have made yesterday more special would have been to hear him say that he would play one more year.

Forza Baggio!!
